I really want to like this show. I find the character design and art style immensely charming. This first episode was very slow though. This is probably the least exciting dragon fight I have ever seen. To me, this came across like the first chapter in a manga; set up the world, some characters, and then end the chapter with the twist to keep people reading into the next chapter.
I am hoping that I am right because it would mean that the story will hopefully pick up as they go at a quicker pace, adapting more than a single chapter per episode. I don't find the first chapter formula as annoying in manga form, probably because I can read at my own pace, so I don't have to sit through a whole episode's worth of time.
As an aside, I saw @[email protected] mention vagina dragons in the general thread about this show and was really confused. I was questioning myself, like I am pretty sure I know what vaginas look like and I don't see it in these dragons. But, then, the vagina dragon does appear halfway through the episode. It was a pretty good description. There is probably a reason vertical mouth openings are not that common on fictional monsters, the comparison is easier to make than a Georgia O'Keeffe painting (even though she hated that comparison).
In any case, I am willing to give this another episode. I mean, I love Nicola's design and the bold lines/shading in this art style, so I am hoping it picks up the pace from here now that they got the hook out of the way. @[email protected]
Ah, I've figured out what that vagina dragon shape comes from!
